Nearly every loyal fan of the PSP would have heard about the rumours and even seen some of the concept photos of the highly anticipated PSP Phone Mobile. However hackers have gone overdrive beforehand and have developed a software which, once installed uses the inbuilt Wifi access of the PSP to allow you to make calls using online Voice over IP services such as Skype. The software code named "Furikup" (named after a geeky protocol joke according to the creators) will allow PSP Slim as well as the now so called PSP Fat users to call any other phone using Voip. Apart from phone calls the software will soon allow even video confrencing.
The software is pretty much available freely on the net... but I guess I am not allowed to tell where!
